5.5/10Ambience was good: didn’t revive solid recommendations on the menu and the food was not as good as expected based on reviews .

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Jasmine. We’re glad you enjoyed the ambience, though we are sorry the food didn’t fully meet your expectations. Taste is, of course, very subjective and we understand that preferences may vary from our vast set of costumers sometimes. We hope you’ll give us another try to explore other dishes that might suit your palate better :) Warm regards, The 26 Vegan Food Project Team

6.5/10Tasty food, service bad, but bad service is quite normal in Portuguese restaurants.

9.5/10Beautiful Vegan restaurant. Excellent food, refined combinations. Minimal place well cared for. The desserts are amazing. Definitely worth a visit for those who are begano but also for those who want to taste something different.... he will be positively amazed. The only flaw is that they put you in a bit of a hurry.

The Restaurant is very pretty, food is nicely plated. We got the jackfruit tartar for appetizer and it was amazing. For the mains we felt the main protein could have a bit more flavor (mushroom terrine and lentil tempeh). Staff is nice!

10/10Great restaurant! The only issue was that although the reservation slot has a two hour duration, when booking at 22h, you have to order quickly as the kitchen closes as 22:30h and the restaurant at 23h. Everything else was lovely!!
Ao 26 Vegan Food Project • Owner
Hi Beatriz! Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We're really glad you enjoyed your visit. It’s true that with later bookings, the kitchen and closing times can limit the full experience. We’ll make sure to communicate that more clearly moving forward. We’d love to welcome you back again soon! 💚

+1The food was great and staff were amazing. Great service, although, the restaurant was kind of stuffy and hot. Also there were only foreigners in the restaurant, which I thought was weird. Will come back, still.

Thank you for your feedback, Marta. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and our team’s service :) We’re sorry it felt a bit hot. We’re working on improving the ventilation, especially during warmer days. We look forward to welcoming you back soon :))

6.5/10
i have tried other vegan restaurants and in comparison, this one wasn’t that great. I ordered a Tofu dish and was surprised by the quantity of food which was too less for a main dish, even the taste was not good. we got drinks as well which were just fine, the ambience was good but no air conditioning during 35 C, was disappointing
Ao 26 Vegan Food Project • Owner
Thank you for your feedback, Amisha. We’re glad you enjoyed the ambience, but we’re sorry to hear the rest of your experience didn’t quite meet up the expectations. Due to the current heatwave in Portugal, our AC hasn’t been performing as well as it should and we’re actively working on a solution. We also appreciate your comments on the portion size and flavours, and we’ll take them into account as we continue to improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try in the future.

This time the food was very deceptioning, especially the dessert, the cream last time I found so incredibly velvety and delicious was a pub le of crumbs and coagulation.

8/10The restaurant had a nice vibe and felt relaxed and friendly. I love the idea of the project but, with the food choices we had, we were underwhelmed by our dishes. I ordered a 'burger' and the texture was very sticky - I felt it didn't work for me as a burger served with bread and fries. My partner ordered tofu wrapped in seaweed - I guess to appear like fish. It did have a 'from the sea' flavour and worked reasonably well. I don't think I would revisit here due to the food being a bit disappointing. However I accept we may have chosen badly with our meal choices and others may have a much better experience.
Ao 26 Vegan Food Project • Owner
Thank you for your feedback, Kathy 🥰 We’re glad you enjoyed the vibe and friendliness of the restaurant, though we are sorry the dishes you chose didn’t quite meet up to your expectations. Since your visit however, we’ve updated our menu and we now have an amazing plant-based meat burger that’s incredibly similar to the traditional ones as even the most skeptical of our customers are loving it! We do hope you might give us another try in the future! 🥰
